IIT Kharagpur Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

If you are from a single degree course i.e. BTech, then you become eligible after the 8th semester and if you are from an integrated MSc course or MTech course, then you become eligible after the 10th semester for campus placements. Many companies offer good placements to students of IIT Kharagpur. some of them are Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Facebook, etc, Although these companies prefer students who have good knowledge of coding and they give a minimum package of 20 lakh per annum. Good companies for core departments like chemical, civil, mechanical and others are quite less and generally offer a package of 9-12 lakhs. There were 30 international job offers too including Japan, the USA, Germany, etc. As per 2020, the highest domestic package was offered by Microsoft which was more than 40 Lakhs. The average package was 14 Lakhs. Nearly 90% of students were placed. My plan is to get a job in my core department.

It's one of the most premier engineering college in India with rich heritage and cultural ecosystem for any student to learn, thrive and grow. It has the largest campus, ultra happening campus life and wide range of avenues to learn and practice all kinds of things.

Generally good but research facilities and motivation should've been better.

The professors are not that bothered about students development though exception are there. But they are busy with their own research. Also sometimes students tend to live in their room rather than exploring, also in some halls, food is pretty bad.
